Wire Update reports:

Confrontations between law enforcement and Red Shirt protestors peaked, as the protestors have been demanding the resignations of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, who called an emergency meeting with security officials following the explosions.

The explosions, several of which took place on the platform of an elevated train, scattered shrapnel through crowds that included foreign tourists, sending people fleeing in panic into shops and restaurants.

It was the worst violence since April 10, when 25 people were killed in a clash between the military and the red shirts, and it raised fears that confrontations between rival groups of protesters could spread.

Tensions have increased in recent days, with the red shirts threatening to march on the financial district and the government warning of an imminent crackdown. “Your days are numbered,” an army spokesman, Col. Sansern Kaewkamnerd, said Thursday, addressing the red shirts.

The casualties came in an area patrolled by the military where pro-government demonstrators have gathered recently, shouting insults at the anti-government red shirts, who have massed behind a barricade of concrete blocks, stacked tires and sharpened bamboo poles.

The New York Times reports:

Suicide vests and grenades hidden in boxes of medicine were found Saturday in a hospital run by an Italian charity in the capital of Helmand Province, Lashkar Gah, and three Italian citizens were detained along with six Afghans who worked at the hospital, according to the provincial governor and Interior Ministry officials in Kabul.
“Initially, the plan was to carry out two attacks in Lashkar Gah, either in a densely populated area or at a picnic site in the outskirts of the city which would of course inflict heavy casualties,” Mr. Mangal said.
The second attack was to have been carried out while he was visiting the injured who were being treated in the Emergency hospital. Mr. Mangal said he usually visited the wounded after attacks.

Emergency, which was set up in 1994 in Milan, has had a facility in Lashkar Gah since 2003 and has operated in Afghanistan since 1999, treating 2.5 million people, according to its website.
